After 5 years of it's release... I'll admit... I've never done Restricted Sparring. But in order to get the full SwSh Experience I guess now is the time to clear it all. Starting with the Grass Course: :rillaboom: @ Assault Vest Ability: Grassy Surge Gigantamax: Yes EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 4...

This might piss some people off but... Verlisify is usually right when it comes to genning in VGC. Yeah... Wild take... But hear me out. Verlis actually has genuine evidence to back up (most of) his accusations, and often cites the rulebook and other confirmations from TPCi (such as using...

Generation 7 and 8's Battle Facilities are better than the Battle Frontier and most of Gen 5's Facilities. What I am counting as Gen 7 and 8's Battle Facilities: -Battle Tree and Battle Tower (both SwSh and BDSP) -Battle Royal Dome -Battle Agency -Restricted Sparing -Dynamax Adventures...

Replayed BDSP once, the E4 was so hard I had to hack in a Palkia to do it for me after losing like 5 or 6 times. True. Every time I faced her, Milotic gave me the most trouble.

Difficulty Hacks are kinda like the fast food of ROM Hacks. Easy to make, and they're practically everywhere. If I had a quarter for every ROM hack that was just "Game, but harder", I could afford a Switch 2. Despite the shitposty nature and the fact that the postgame is the exact same as...

This meme gets my point across (ignore Bidoof or replace it with Zubat or Machop Line).

At this point it feels like "The "Gen 5 last good one" crowd are the new genwunners" is beginning to become more popular. Not saying I disagree, I 100% agree with this take, but I've seen multiple reddit posts comparing them to genwunners, I've even seen a YouTube video calling the mindset out...

They know about the "every Mega is shaped like an X or Y" thing...

As someone who grew up with the Switch Era of Pokémon (yes it is possible to have grown up with Switch Era Pokémon, Lets Go came out 7 years ago)... The Switch Era is the epitome of "It's not that bad once you don't have people screaming into your ear about how it sucks." LGPE provided a...

I'm probably gonna piss off a lot of Anipoke fans when I say it but... I did not care for Amourshipping. I first discovered Amourshipping (and shipping as a whole) when I was 8/9, which was also a time when I had a crush on Serena, and seeing all these people ship my waifu with one of the...

I actually had beaten Gyms 3 and 4 a while ago but forgot to update my progress. In between both Gyms I caught plenty of Wild Area Encounters (mostly raid Pokémon), it was the following: Woods the Sudowoodo (Monostoke Outskirts) Lilliebean the Cutiefly (Bridge Field), who was named after a...

Here's a few more hot takes: -After replaying Base BW, I think the story is overrated. Team Plasma COULD have been a great twist evil team, but the game quickly hammers it in that they are the bad guys by showing them beating a Munna up and stealing Pokémon from people. Also Ghetsis almost says...

The backlash Legends Z-A got is proof "certain" Pokémon fans just love to complain. We got new Megas after a decade of waiting, Eternal Floette is FINALLY obtainable, some of the best characters, the best final boss in the entire series, and a redemption ark for one of Pokémon's weakest...

Favorites (USUM (or UPUS if you're Gireum Red (aka "Kanto Pandering, in MY 20th Anniversary celebration game?! This game sucks!")), ZA, B2W2, and SwSh) USUM: It's really hard for me to find something I hate about USUM, so I'll just mention the fact that Gyro controls are the default wormhole...

After going back to Galar Mine 1 to try (and fail to) catch a Carkoal but caught an Electrike on Route 4. I went back to the Wild Area and caught a Budew which I named Tegridy Weed (yes, the filter allowed it). Moving on to Route 5 to catch a Snufful named Tedette and got the free Toxel and...
